Summary
"The emergence of EU Private Law as an independent legal discipline is one of the most significant developments in European legal scholarship in recent times. In this Companion, leading scholars provide a critical introduction to the subject's key areas, while offering original and thought-provoking comment on the field. In addition to several chapters on consumer law topics, the collection has individual chapters on commercial contracts, competition law, non-discrimination law, financial services and travel law. It also discusses the wider issues concerning EU Private Law, such as its historical evolution, the role of comparative law, language and terminology, as well as the implications of the Common Frame of Reference project. A useful 'scene-setting' introduction and further reading arranged thematically make this important publication the student's and scholar's first port of call when exploring the field"--Provided by publisher.
"This Companion is about European Union Private Law (EUPL). It concentrates on the impact of European Union (EU ) legislation and case-law on private law. The field of 'private law' is broad and covers such fundamental areas as contract, tort and property law, but also includes family law, the law of succession and others"--Provided by publisher.
